Welcome to MoonBrine. Brewers of fermented pickles.

Fifteen years ago Stewart Golomb (a veteran third grade teacher) started making pickles in his tiny East Village apartment in New York City. The initial goal was to see if his pickles could be better than what was currently available on the street in NYC’s Lower East Side (former pickle mecca). Batch after batch he tested and tested. Ad absurdum. The refrigerator in the small NYC apartment was constantly filled with test batches. Which necessitated the extremely popular pickle-tasting parties to make room for more test batches. The overwhelming response to the pickles fell somewhere between unbridled enthusiasm and mania. MoonBrine was born.

Armed with his love of food, fun and a mission to bring some simple joy to people’s lives, he attacks the pickling process with an intensity hard to come by unless you’re just plain intense, aka Stew.

From New York City, Stew moved to Boston, Massachusetts where he brewed and sold his fermented pickles for seven years. Continuing his mission to spread the love of pickles, Stew moved MoonBrine World Headquarters to the great Pacific Northwestern city of Portland, Oregon where he is producing out of the Historic Ford Building located in Southeast Portland. From the Great Atlantic Northeast to the Great Pacific Northwest – Pickles for all!

Stew says, “Giddy up! Pickle down!”

Flavor. It's what it's all about.

Our two varieties of fermented pickles are brewed in small batches using only all natural ingredients with absolutely no preservatives. So they actually taste like a pickle should. Handcrafted. Hand packed. All for the love of the pickle. Our delicious pickles are gluten free, fat free and contain zero trans fats. Crunchy. Healthy. Daily. No worries, friend. Pickles don't hurt anybody!

It's a secret, but we will tell only you, it's down by the railroad tracks at the corner of SE 11th Avenue and SE Division Street in the basement of the fabulous Ford Building located in Southeast Portland, Oregon. There you will find quart glass jars of our famous fermented MoonBrine SuperDill and Pretty Hot All Natural Pickles, and our MoonBrine Brine, a magical product all on its own.
